Re: [Templates] Re: Excellent article on Apache/mod_perl at eToys

What I found most interesting was the detail of the extensive caching which 
was implemented to survive the seasonal rush. I look forward to working on 
a project one day that is big enough to warrant such a system. All in all, 
a most excellent and informative read.

Thanks again for everything you've personally done for the community! I 
look forward to seeing those graphics. :-)

I'll post a follow-up when that happens in case anyone wants to go and look
at the pretty pictures.

While we're on the subject, thanks to everyone who contributed to the many
open source projects that we used.  We couldn't have done it without you.

I work in a predominately M$ shop. AS a matter of fact, I am one of only two
Perl/mod_perl programmers in a development department with 25 other
programmers. Sometimes it feels like we are working in a vacuum. This list
and articles like the eToys article along with the overwhelmingly superior
performance of mod_perl/Apache vs. either M$ IIS/ASP or M$ IIS/ColdFusion
are what make, at least for me, doing what I do for a living where I do it
possible. If it weren't for our success with mod_perl/Apache I really
believe that this project would have been converted to ColdFusion a long
time ago. Anecdotal evidence like the eToys article only add to the growing
body of evidence that what we do with mod_perl is really the best of the
available alternatives. 

Not only doe Perrin deserve a pat on the back for his article, but everyone
who promotes the use of these technologies should feel good about what
themselves.
